    P3A Disconnects - A Noob Asks!

    Put all your batteries in your drone one at a time and power it up with the transmitter off. Leave it powered up with each battery for several minutes with each battery. Then power everything off and try flying normally.

    Phantom 3 Crack Repairs

    It finally cracked. That arm has noticeably more flex to it. The other arms are all perfect.

    Have you ever had people complain to you while flying?

    Maybe we should make an informative video showing the limitations. No zoom lens, can't really hover and peer in windows. ... that sort of thing.

    Groundstation close call

    I dropped the long video and am currently posting an edited (shorter) version. This issue was that my first way point was 150 feet but I sent it on the mission starting at 60 feet. So it gained altitude and started towards the first way point simultaneously. Usually I climb to the way point...

    Groundstation close call

    Here is the entire video. It was a a test. Flying a distance, dropping below tree level and coming home.

    Another angry neighbor

    This morning had clear blue skies, no wind and bright sunshine. I took the Phantom for a flight over my forest and then up the short street I live on. 200 foot altitude. I swung a U turn and returned to home quickly to get some pictures of a fox that was in my back lawn. When I landed an...

    Has your DJI Pilot App shown 'Disconnected' during flight recently?

    I was getting the disconnects at about 800 feet (sometimes less, much less). It occurred on my Android tablet and Android smartphone, so I bought an Ipad Air 2. The disconnects continued with IOS as well. I performed a RC re-connect and have not had any issues since. Even after the lasted...

    How do you fly your phantom?

    I've been doing FB photo's of our little town, recreating vintage photo's taken by airborne photographers from the 1950's and 60's. The changes of the town over time are remarkable. I made a large scale print 18x24 and donated it to our town hall. I've got 55 flights on my P3P approximately...

    iPad 2air

    I recently bought an IPad 2 Air 64. No cellular. It works very well with my P3P. This is my first IPad or I anything for that matter. I was shocked as to what I could not do with the IPad 2 Air. Apple is quick to sell you additional accessories to do simple things like read an SD card. Why...

    Phantom 3??

    I flew my Phantom 2 V+ this morning. Why do I keep this relic?.. LOL. It's not that bad but the P3P is so much improved... I do like the Ground Station of the Phantom 2. I'll be using it for the more risky flights.

    Disconnects instead of a weak signal warning

    I will post again if the problem reappears. I do not believe it will. Now I get a weak signal warning, as it should. with no loss of telemetry.
